What it is
Sodium phosphate and sodium polyphosphate are salts of phosphoric acid. They are manufactured through chemical processes, often starting with phosphate rock.
Why it's used
These ingredients are used to improve texture and moisture retention in processed foods. They help emulsify fats and prevent separation, making them common in cheese products, baked goods, and processed meats.
Health notes
Sodium phosphates are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated them. High intake of phosphates, particularly from processed foods, has been linked in some studies to potential negative health effects, but evidence is mixed and research is ongoing.
Allergen info
